cool the mythbusters are the coolest geeks in the world and the first ever amazing meeting was in my home town

I personally like Penn & Teller way more than the Mythbusters. The MBs are cool geeks but pale to P&T.

I would go for P&T, Trey & Matt, and the MBs. Unfortunately, Vegas is a bit too far for me to travel. Hopefully someone here goes and can tell us how it is. :mrgreen:

The Amazing Meeting is put on every year by James "The Amazing" Randi.

James Randi like Harry Houdini started off as a magician then switched to full time debunking those that claim magic tricks are super natural. He is also founder of The One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge where he will award $1,000,000 to the first person provide objective proof of the paranormal.

Penn & Teller are hilarious magicians that are famous for telling you how the trick is done and then amazing you by doing the trick. Penn is mainly a juggler and does all the talking. Teller is slight of hand artists and does not talk (I have seen him talk once - If you know what video he talks in I will give you a hundred points and rep you). They host the Showtime TV show Humbug! (Warning: The link goes to Wikipedia but contains profanity) where they debunk common misconceptions. They are two of my favorite entertainers.

Michael Shermer is the founder of the Skeptics Society. He has also written several books, gives numerous lectures (I have attended a few) and is often a guest on shows when they need a view point of the other side to balance outrageous claims.

Mythbusters is a TV show that tests urban legends and rumors.

The South Park guys... I don't think there is any confusion about who they are.

So anyways I thought it was cool enough to deserve some free advertising and perhaps someone here will make it and report how it was.
